About this trek

Stok Kangri, at 6,153 m, was long the most popular “trekkable” 6,000 m peak in India, towering over Leh and the Stok range. The non-technical summit climb made it a bucket-list objective for fit trekkers acclimatising in Ladakh.

Note: Stok Kangri has been closed to trekking since 2020 to let the fragile ecosystem recover โ€” check the current status with local authorities before planning. Alternatives like Kang Yatse II offer a similar experience.

Packing list

  • Trekking shoes
  • Warm layers + down jacket
  • Rain shell
  • Headlamp

Safety notes

Acclimatise properly, carry warm layers even in summer, check weather and route status, and trek with a registered guide on high-altitude routes.
